James pierre: CB FAU 6-2 185 long, big corner steelers covet. Pierre, a Deerfield Beach High School alum, finishes his FAU career with 120 total tackles, 18 pass breakups, 8 1/2 tackles for losses and 3 interceptions in 39 games played. He recorded 44 tackles to go along with career-highs of 4.5 tackles for losses and 3 interceptions during his junior season in 2019.
Calvin Taylor : DT Kentucky 6-9 310 might be a too tall to play inside might swing him out to DE but his basket ball athleticism and long arms warrant him well getting off blocks, as in the same sense with him being so tall leverage might be a problem though. The 6-foot-9 Taylor had focused on basketball until his senior year at Augusta Christian High School in Georgia. Kentucky coaches saw his potential and brought him to Lexington. He redshirted in 2015 and played as a reserve in four games as he grew stronger in 2016. Taylor suited up for 11 contests in 2017 (22 tackles, one for loss), starting the team’s bowl game. His progression continued in 2018, playing in all 13 games and starting the final nine games of the year (26 tackles, six for loss, one pass breakup). As a senior, coaches moved Taylor’s thicker frame inside to defensive tackle, where he started all 13 games for the Wildcats. He posted 36 tackles, 9.5 for loss, with a team-high 8.5 sacks, four pass breakups and three forced fumbles
Corliss Waitman: Punter South Alabama 6-2 210 might sit best out of all the UDFA at dethroning a starter. Handled punts kickoffs and field goals at during his time at South. Best year was 2017 as a junior. As A Junior (2017): Handled the punting duties for South in every game … Chosen honorable mention on the inaugural All-American Punter team … Ranked third on the organization’s top five list of Coffin Kickers with a 89.86 rating as well … A first-team all-Sun Belt Conference selection … Named first-team all-league by Phil Steele Publications also … Averaged a school-record 45.24 yards per punt, which ranked first in the conference and was eighth in the country … Also stood second among league punters with 26 kicks inside the opponent’s 20-yard line — the second-highest season total in program history — and led the SBC with 21 punts of 50 or more yards … Efforts helped South ranked seventh nationally in net punting while leading the Sun Belt in the category … Posted an average of 45 yards or higher in seven of 12 contests and had at least two punts inside the 20 nine different times … Also led USA with 23 kickoffs, an average of 60.6 yards per kickoff and five touchbacks
Keep in mind (I forget the exact number) but as many as 3 and as little as 1 UDFA actually stuck around in the Burgh last season and we signed a good bit of XFL talent recently whom I believe have a good shot.
I do like the 3 players i mentioned earlier as well as
John Houston: ILB 6-3 220 out of Southern Cal.
